Multi Page Diagrams in Visio (2013)

Hi,
I have a very large diagram to produce, that does split nicely (by department) over several pages, although data / processes do flow between the pages.
I also want to be able to have a link to each Department's diagram within their own Word document.
If I have one, multi paged VSDx file, I can connect the data stores across the pages using an off page connector - but will I then be able to have a hyperlink to the individual page in my Word doc?
Alternatively, if each Departments diagram is a separate .VSDx it means that I can easily put the hyperlink in Word, but can Visio link objects in separate VSDx files?
Or is there any other way of achieving these to aims?
All diagrams and docs are held in SharePoint.

Add some (Master) Shapes to another (Master) Shape in Microsoft Visio 2013 x64 when add a (Master) Shape to the Page

I want to create a new Master Shape in the Microsoft Visio 2013 x64 like the Class
Master Shape in the UML Class Stencil.
When add the Class Master Shape to a page, it appends two Member and one Separator Master Shapes in itself automatically. Furthermore, can add more Member and Separator Master Shapes in it.
I was thinking that it adds other Master Shapes in itself by some written VBA codes; however, when I checked the file of the UML Class (Metric)
Stencil in the following full path, I got that it uses no VBA codes, not at all.
D:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\Visio Content\1033\USTRME_M.VSSX
The file extension is "Visio Stencil (*.vssx)" instead of "Visio Macro-Enabled Stencil (*.vssm)"; so, it can't have VBA codes.
I know that I can do something by adding some new Rows in the Actions Section of the ShapeSheet; however, it doesn't exist any action Rows to add fresh Member and Separator Master Shapes for Class Shape.
Figure 1 - Separator Shape with two additional options in the Context Menu and without any related rows in the ShapeSheet
Figure 2 - Display a Bar to insert Separator Shape
Figure 3 - Member Shape with two additional options in the Context Menu and without any related rows in the ShapeSheet
Figure 4 - Display a Bar to insert Member Shape
When I do RMB click on a Class Shape that is placed in the page, it has two new options in theContext Menu:
Show Template Parameter
Show Stereotype
And I see related Actions' Section Rows for them.
Figure 5 - Class Shape with two additional options in the Context Menu and related rows in the ShapeSheet
When I do RMB click on the Member and Separator Shapes in added Class Shape, can see "Insert "Member/Separator" before/after";
however, when I add Member and Separator Master Shapes on the page directly (not in the Class Shape), when I do RMB click on them, can't see extra options in the Context Menu.
Figure 6 - Separator Shape with no additional options in the Context Menu
Figure 7 - Member Shape with no additional options in the Context Menu
I checked their ShapeSheet and can't find any related rows for above-mentioned actions.
Now, my question is that how can I create a new Master Shape with the ability to accept some other Master Shapes without any VBA codes like Class Shape
in the UML Class Stencil that is created by Microsoft?
Regards Mohsen Rostami

The class diagram master shape is a "Container/List" shape, which has two "elements" (members) pre-loaded. You can of course build these groups using VBA. You might try to google it. Here is a starter.

Navigation from OnePage to Another Page in MS Visio chart added in SharePoint 2013 Site

Dear All,
I have made Org Chart in MS Visio 2013 including multiple pages (sheets) & hyperlink provided to navigate from one page to another after clicking on particular box/Icon.
In Ms Visio, its working properly but when i have added this in SharePoint site then when clicking on hyper linked Box then instead of navigating to another page , it is downloading files.
Kindly let me know what should be done.

Hi,
In regarding of the issue, please provide us more information to assist you better.
How do you upload the Visio file to SharePoint 2013? Upload the whole file directly or use the Visio 2013 build-in feature to save as to SharePoint site.
Which file format do you use? VSDX or VWD format (Visio Web Drawing)
Which browsers do you use?
If you did not use VWD format, I recommend you try to
save diagrams to SharePoint as Web drawings, we are using Visio Services to make the diagram available for people to view in a browser. Web drawings can have hyperlinks, multiple pages, and other features like a standard Visio drawing, including the
ability to connect to external data sources. (Based on my test, the method worked well for me, it would navigate hyperlink correctly among different pages)
Then, if we can navigate hyperlink correctly, and it becomes ”downloading mode“. This issue may be caused by the browsers add-ins. Please try to disable all the add-ins to test.
Hope it's helpful.

Is there a limit of the number of pages for an org chart in Visio 2013?

I created an org chart in Visio 2013 by importing data from an Excel file. It created 300 pages. Besides opening & saving the file very slowly, it functioned as I expected (i.e. layed out the chart properly & links worked to drill
between pages). I needed to visit each page to clean up the layout (i.e. add spacing, change layout, etc). After fixing approx 130 pages, Visio shut down unexpectedly. Fortunately I had been saving regulary. I reopened the file
and continued working. It then would shut down after updating every 25 pages or so. The file size is 5.3 MB. I'm running Windows 7 with 4 GB RAM. Is there a limitation to the number of pages before Visio becomes unstable?

based on my test,there is no limit

How to get mouse over shape to display data in Visio 2013?

Hi Visio pros,
I am required to create a diagram of our servers rack setup and will be publishing to a Web page using Visio 2013.
The goal is to mouse over the server shape and have the data be displayed. I have followed arguably every solution on the internet. I am either doing it wrong, or it might be outdated information.
I'm hoping Paul Herber, or other Visio pros would be able to help me with this situation as I am on a tight schedule and have exhausted my resources.
Things I have tried:
user.visEquivTitle in ShapeSheet
http://visualsignals.typepad.co.uk/vislog/2012/02/no-mouseover-with-visequivtitle.html
and
prop.(data name) in the comments within the miscellaneous section of the ShapeSheet.

Hi Sir!
I am open to the possibility that I may have done something wrong as I am very new to Visio.
Here are the steps I followed:
http://visio.mvps.org/ShapeSheet/
Browser that I am using is Internet Explorer since I ran into problems with Google Chrome.
However, after more reading I noticed the User.visEquivTitle provides a tooltip. If it is what I think it is, which is a small yellow box displaying a string, my employer would not want that.
We're looking for something that will provide an aesthetic display of data after mouse over onto the shape.
Thank you very much for your help.

Visio 2013 Org Chart Changing Picture Quality

Hi,
I'm trying to make an org chart with a lot of employees. I can generate the chart with the wizard, but if I add pictures, Visio tends to crash before finishing. I ended up generating the org chart with the wizard and then added the pictures using vba and the
ChangePicture function. This works well enough to solve the crashing problem. However, for larger JPEG images (300KB or larger), many of them don't seem to show up. If they do, they tend to randomly disappear and reappear when I go through the different pages
of the chart and come back to it. Is there a way to lower the picture quality using vba before or after putting them on the chart?
Thanks,
Bobby

Hi,
In regarding of the issue, we might try to troubleshooting the Visio 2013 crash during you using the Organization chart and check if it is helpful. I have some questions:
How many images do you insert to the diagram?
Where do you get the
organization information (Photos)? Form exchange server, text, excel file or ODBC-compliant data source?
Please try the following methods:
Install the latest patches.
Start Visio in
safe mode.
Repair Visio.
Add the size of virtual memory
If the issue still exists, please check what happened when Visio 2013 crash via the
event log.
If you need further assistance about "lower the picture quality" via VBA, please post your question to MSDN forum:

Org Chart Shapes are no longer recognized as org chart shapes by Visio 2013

I created an org chart in Visio 2013 by importing data from Excel. It generated the org chart properly. I then began cleaning up (i.e. Best Fit to Page, changing layouts on pages, changing size & spacing) as need to be visually more
appealing. After cleaning up many pages, Visio no longer recognized the shapes on the page as org chart shapes. This now causes the 'Best Fit to Page' feature to display a msg stating "Add organization chart shapes to your drawing, and
try again." It also causes the 'position' (employee) shapes under a 'manager' shape to no longer move with the manager shape when the manager is repositioned. This is now true for all shapes on all pages in my org chart. Can the
shapes be fixed to go back to being recognized as org chart shapes?

Hi，
If you want to show the pictures in the Organization chart， we need to add the photo the display
fields. Please try to do the following steps:
Create a new Organization chart> Organization Chart Wizard choose information that's already stored in a file or database> Choose A microsft Exchange Server directory> Select Photo and add to display fields> Choose the information which you want
to show> I want to specify how much of my Organization to display on each page > Choose the team

Reduced in resolution when converting from Visio to PDF in Visio 2013

I have a .NET application that converts Visio files to PDF using the Document.ExportAsFixedFormat method. This works fine in Visio 2010. However, upon upgrading to Visio 2013, the exact same code is producing PDF with much lower resolution that is unsuitable
for print. I am not sure what is wrong. Is there something I can do to export high resolution PDF with Visio 2013? Thanks!
The following is my code:
_app.ActiveDocument.ExportAsFixedFormat(VisFixedFormatTypes.visFixedFormatPDF, // Format
pdfpath, // Output path
VisDocExIntent.visDocExIntentPrint, // Output quality
VisPrintOutRange.visPrintFromTo, // Range
1, // Start page
-1, // End page
false, // Color as black
true, // Include background
false, // Include document properties
false, // Indicate tag structure
true, // Use ISO 19005-1 (PDF/A).
System.Reflection.Missing.Value // FixedFormatExtClass

Hi Eugene
I am using visFixedFormatPDF, visDocExIntentPrint, and visPrintAll, but there is no improvement in the resolution of the PDF.
The Type.Missing value can only be used for the last parameter. The other parameters require either bool or int, so I get compile errors if I try to use Type.Missing.
I also notice the reduction of resolution in Visio 2013 only applies to bitmap images copied into the Visio file. Lines and shapes drawn in Visio still looks fine. I am getting this problem even if I simply select the Save As menu option and select PDF,
so this problem could be independent of office.interop.
Is there something I can do to avoid the degradation of resolution of bitmaps in Visio 2013? Everything is fine in Visio 2010.

Object name not found error after upgrading to Visio 2013

Hello,
I have a C# application which uses the Visio drawing control. I have been working on making it compatible with Visio 2013. I get an error using Visio 2013 which I did not get using Visio 2010. The error is a COMexception:
Object name not found.
That is all the error says. The code which causes it to occur is as follows:
Document document = axDrawingControl1.Document;
document.Pages["page1"].Drop(document.Masters["Dynamic Connector"], 0, 0);
It does not seem to matter whether I use Dynamic Connector or Rectangle or any other shape, the error still occurs.
Here's the weird part: I tried out this code in a simple app with a Visio drawing control to see if I could figure out how to make it go away, and the error was still occurring for a little while, and then the code magically started working without me making
any changes to it. Unfortunately, it didn't start magically working in the original application so I'm still trying to figure out what is causing it.
Thanks for your help!

Did the error disappear once you'd created a document and added a dynamic connector shape to the drawing? If so then there is now a Dynamic Connector master stored in the document stencil (where masters used in the drawing are contained).

Free trial for Visio 2013 Standard?

Hi,
Is it possible to download a free trial for Visio 2013 Standard version?
I can find the download option for the Visio 2013 Professional version, but as we are likely to need only the Standard version I want to download the trial for this to ensure that it covers all that we will need it for, which I can't check if the only version
available is the Professional trial?
Thanks,
Hazel

Visio 2013 Activation

I bought Visio 2013 Professional from our company account. We also have 2 Project 2013 Standard Licenses on the same. When I navigate to my products in my account and try to download Visio 2013 on the desired
computer, the hyperlink redirects me to download / installation of Project (which has already been downloaded and the license is in use on another company computer).
I even tried downloading a trial version and then activating the trail but it doesn't seem to work. The error message I get when trying to do this is "The products we found in your account can't be used to activate Visio." It for some reason thinks
I do not own the product, which my account displays my product with a license key but the hyperlink doesn't allow me to download or install it because it redirects me to Project installation page.
Calling Microsoft Tech Support was the worst experience I have ever had. I was on call for over 2 hours being transferred from one department to another being told that it was "out of scope" for the person I was talking to, and then id eventually
get transferred back to the main menu.
We have spend SO much money on this product and cannot even use it. This is ridiculous! Also, talking about after sales customer service....i dont think it even exists.
I'd really appreciate help in resolving this issue ASAP. Its been two weeks and this is my last resort to get this sorted out so that we can finally use the product we paid so much money for.

Hi,
I have definitely heard your frustration, and we're thinking about ways to troubleshoot this issue.
Would you like to share us your download page and link? And, please try this link to download:

Then, based on the error message, please the 2 workaround.
1. Don't activate the product using your account credentials. Just enter your product key manually to activate Office 2013 copy.
Open Control Panel and click on Programs and Features icon >Right Click on Microsoft Visio
